Types of joints found in the human
body: junction of two bones that permits movement.Ribs and vertebrae = semi-mobile joints: ribs: bones of the thoracic
cage. Vertebra: each of the bones of the spinal column. Semi-mobile
joints: very restricted flexibility.Vertebrae = cartilaginous joints: vertebra: each of the bones
of the spinal column. Cartilaginous joints: flexibility due to cartilage,
an elastic tissue.Skull = immovable joints: skull: bony case of the brain. Fixed
joints: joints that do not allow flexibility.Elbow = hinged joint: elbow: joint connecting the forearm to
the upper arm. Hinged joint: flexible in only one direction.Hip = ball and socket joint: hip: part on the side of the body,
between the waist and the top of the thigh. Ball and socket joint: flexibility
